True, a lot of things can happen in two weeks; however, this sort of strategery suggests that the goal is less "win" and more "keep from being blown out of the water."

Note: being here in mouth-breather country, I really haven't seen any advertising beyond what must be a few Obama national media purchases. If I do happen across a McCain ad, I'll let you know--that could be indicative of a potential landslide.

Brad: Last time, we were talking about problems from women in careers. I've got a couple of things I'd like to get off of my chest.

Steve: Go ahead, man!

Brad: Any woman who wants a career, she's got two problems -- 1. her career; 2. this baby thing. I don't care who she is, what she says -- there isn't a broad alive who doesn't feel unfulfilled if she doesn't have a baby.

Mike: Damn straight! Damn straight on that! Yes!

Craig: If they could just make a decision and stick to it!

Steve: There you go.

Mike: Exactly, Craig. You get tired of hearing it, man?

Brad: I think I may want a kid...when I'm 40, late 40's, something like that. If that happens, I'll divorce my wife and marry a girl in her 20's.

Mike: Right on!

Brad: I'll take that chance. That's life. But you're not gonna hear me whining about it all the time.

Steve: Well, that brings up another terrible women's problem -- whining. That is a problem

[ the men argue this point between themselves ]

Mike: I think you guys are missing the point, though. you see, if a woman steps out of line, man, see, she's asking her man to show that he cares by slapping her around a little bit!

Brad: Amen!

Mike: See? Now, if one of my women gives me trouble, I will whap her on the butt with a car antenna! 'Til she's says she's sorry!

Steve: Well, uh.. it's a different system, Mike. I mean...sometimes a man can gain more ground by trying to understand, you know, whatever particular problems that particular broad might have...

The Russian Mission to the United Nations issued a bizarre statement to the UN press corps today stating simply, "We have received a letter from Senator John McCain requesting financial contribution to his Presidential campaign. In this connection we would like to reiterate that Russian officials, the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations or the Russian Government do not finance political activity in foreign countries."

And they accuse Obama of being a socialist. I swear, McCain projects more than a multiplex theater.

McCain's latest accusation is that Obama's threatening public financing of campaigns by...accepting campaign contributions from the public.

I suppose, on a relative scale, this spew is pretty minor compared to the other toxins wafting forth from Camp McCain--still, it's just the latest in a whole series of things that yer free press corpse would savage a Democratic candidate for doing.
